While this book is more conversational and less scientific than Quiet, I did not enjoy it as much. The whole book felt more targeted to a younger reader, someone in high school, college or just starting in the professional world which is completely fine. I just didn't feel I had as much to gain from reading it. I stopped reading about 2/3rds of the way through the book.
I think the book relied too heavily on the introvert's aversion to social situations like parties. Quiet focuses more on academic and professional challenges which I find more valuable. Color me old and crotchety, but after the third or fourth exposition about how difficult it is to not be a party pariah, I just wanted to say “Go home and read a book and stop caring about it!”
